The majority of our trips (which happen every weekend) are planned at our Wednesday meetings--a couple days in advance. The best way to stay posted on trips and events is to come to our Wednesday meetings (9:00 p.m., SU 303) or check the weekly email and blog. Join the facebook group!
Also check out the club’s listings on the new UConn Events Calendar along with a bunch of other organizations and departments.

Other Sports - We have a huge inventory of gear allowing us to run trips for all the following sports: Kiteboarding, Extreme Sledding, XC and Downhill Skiing, Mountain Boarding, Mountain Biking, Whitewater Rafting, and Caving.
We’re always looking to purchase new gear so if there is a sport we don’t offer or some items we need more of, let us know as we’ll be getting new gear each semester.
